I've stopped following research closely. Almost 30 years ago they said we were days away from being able to clone mammoths, so here we are and where are the mammoths? It's the same thing with all other archeology things, ''we're SO close to making a break through! Any day now!'' And decades later not a sliver of progress has been made.
@@muffy469 That's a problem with research generally speaking. Everything is perpetually 10 years away because that time estimate is short enough to keep investors interested and long enough to buy time until the next investing round.

The research has been a passion project spanning decades and the research team is comprised of a seasoned time of experts. My hope is that the scroll prize contest yielded the results they need but I wouldn't expect to see a fully deciphered scroll anytime soon. It just depends what they found. I know they were able to decipher individual words so that strikes me as promising. So, I do feel that most lofty research projects are doomed to fail.
